KPL 2021 match timings revised to avoid clash with West Indies-Pakistan Test series

The timings for matches in the first edition of the Kashmir Premier League (KPL) have been changed because of the Test match series between Pakistan and West Indies.

Pakistan will lock horns with West Indies in the first Test on August 12 at the Sabina Park in Jamaica while the second and final Test will begin on August 20 at the same venue.

On August 12 and 13, the first of the scheduled KPL matches will be played at 10:30 am and the second at 03:30 pm, according to the revised timings of the KPL matches.

On August 14, 15 and 16, the matches will begin at 03:30 pm.

The final of the cricketing event scheduled on August 17 will be played at 7:00 pm.

Nine matches have so far been played in the ongoing first KPL season. All six teams have played three matches each.

The Rawalakot Hawks are leading the points table with five points after winning two out of three matches, trailed by the Muzaffarabad Tigers and Bagh Stallions who got four points each with two wins.

The Mirpur Royals and Overseas Warriors are in the fourth and fifth places respectively with two points each, while the Kotli Lions are at the bottom of the points table with one point.
